I Can't Wait to Go Mad

You're going to do something big A crazy passionate leap Oh, it will be very dangerous You'll probably lose it all It's going to eat your mind stop your heart burn your spirit and leave your body ten years closer to Hell You'll doubt yourself every moment and you'll scream in frustration -I bet you'll hate everything everyone and yourself It's going to be intolerable You'll scream at yourself "Why, you bastard?" but you won't have any answers You'll survive. You will glance into a mirror wondering on those new scars Seeing that you fought everything to get nowhere Enjoy this time as it will be the greatest stillness that you will ever know Once you've lost it all, once you're broken once you are consumed You will finally laugh knowing that you lived for the first time But they'll think you're insane! ...and they will be right Because you looked deep, directly into the eyes of God and you never blinked
